Here are the highlights from The Capitol Blog:
*** 11:28 am *** This would be almost hilarious if it was another state’s former governor…
“Mr. Rod Blagojevich would waive reading of the indictment and enter a plea of not guilty,” the lawyer said. U.S. District Judge James Zagel asked the former governor a series of questions, including one about his schooling.
“Um, I have a degree from law school,” Blagojevich replied
*** 12:07 pm *** Shameless…
Moments after leaving the courtroom and asked how he was feeling, the ex-governor compared himself to Winston Churchill, saying “this is the end of the beginning.”
He added that “the truth will prevail. I look forward to clearing my name and being vindicated.”

Three others charged in the case—Springfield power broker William Cellini, former Blagojevich chief of staff John Harris and top Blagojevich fundraiser Christopher Kelly—are set to be arraigned Thursday. Harris is cooperating with federal authorities, as is another former chief of staff, Lon Monk, who is expected to be arraigned April 24.

I knew G-Rod would act like a complete fool of himself. Now let's see who he will take down with him because he want go alone. Now the Prosecutor will ahove to deal with this nut job and we will see a show with great entertainment. It's sad the people of Illinois still have to deal with this stuff. But we have Govenor Terminator who doesn't wear underwear and might not wash his hands or even himself who knows he's so dirty.
What a media embarrasement to the State of Illinois, oh, and by the way G-Rod wants a higher bond so he can go on some reality TV show in Costa Rica.
Let the circus begin.
"He added that “the truth will prevail. I look forward to clearing my name and being vindicated.”
Hey Blago, OJ called. He wants his words back.
